Discover @ The COV: All Jazzed Up
Friday, November 20 at Kenton County Public Library - Covington Branch, Cincinnati
About this event
Join the Covington Branch of Kenton County Public Library for Discover @ The COV: All Jazzed Up, an after-hours experience celebrating the city's music and history. Headlining the evening is the critically acclaimed Daniel Bennett Group, performing its signature blend of modern jazz and folk music. Enjoy handcrafted, Prohibition-inspired mocktails that bring vintage flair without the alcohol. Between sets, explore an exclusive exhibition highlighting Covington during the Prohibition era. From live jazz to local history, this evening offers a unique opportunity to experience the city's past while enjoying an entertaining night out.
Who's playing
Daniel Bennett is a New York saxophonist and woodwind player who leads the Daniel Bennett Group. The Boston Globe has described the group's music as a mix of jazz, folk and minimalism. Their latest album, Mr. Bennett's Mind, is their tenth studio record, and the band has been working together for about two decades.
What to expect
The program alternates live sets with time to walk through the Prohibition-era exhibition on Covington. The mocktails are inspired by the period, so they carry its vintage flair without any alcohol. It takes place at the library's branch on the corner of Fifth and Scott, a building that has been expanded over the years.
Why go
The pairing is the draw: live modern jazz and a look at the city's past under one roof. The branch's local history and genealogy departments were expanded in a 2013 renovation, so the exhibition sits inside a library that keeps Covington's records. It is a short trip across the Ohio River from Cincinnati for a different kind of music night.
